UGI Utilities Announces Natural Gas Main Replacement Project in Bethlehem
UGI Utilities, Inc. is set to begin a natural gas main replacement project in Bethlehem, aiming to enhance service reliability and safety while offering conversion opportunities for local homes and businesses.
UGI Utilities, Inc. has announced a significant natural gas main replacement project in Bethlehem, scheduled to commence on Monday, August 4. This initiative underscores UGI's dedication to ensuring the safety and reliability of its natural gas services. The project, expected to conclude by the end of October, will involve upgrades along Mechanic Street, between Hill Street and Steel Avenue, potentially affecting traffic and parking in the area.
The construction will take place from Monday to Friday, 7:00am to 5:00pm, with road closures, detours, and traffic delays anticipated. UGI has also indicated that some interruptions to natural gas service will occur, necessitating access to properties for equipment inspection and relighting. The company has advised residents and business owners to prepare for these disruptions.
An added benefit of the project is the opportunity for homes and businesses along the route to convert to natural gas, a cleaner and potentially more cost-effective energy source. UGI encourages interested parties to reach out for more information on conversion possibilities. Further details about UGI Utilities, Inc. and its services can be found at https://www.ugi.com.
Weather and working conditions may influence the project's timeline, with final paving and restoration to follow the completion of underground work. UGI's commitment to this project reflects its ongoing efforts to modernize infrastructure and meet the energy needs of its over 760,000 customers efficiently and safely.
